fRNAdb -- databases to support mining and annotation of functional RNAs
What you can do:
Search for information on non-annotated/unannotated non-coding mRNA transcripts.
Highlights:
- The Functional RNA Database consists of two databases: a rewrite of the original version of the Functional RNA Database (fRNAdb) and the latest version of the UCSC GenomeBrowser for Functional RNA.
- The former is a sequence database equipped with a powerful search function and hosts a large collection of known/predicted non-coding RNA sequences acquired from existing databases as well as novel/predicted sequences reported by researchers of the Functional RNA Project.
- The latter is a UCSC Genome Browser mirror with large additional custom tracks specifically associated with non-coding elements.
- It also includes several functional enhancements such as a presentation of a common secondary structure prediction at any given genomic window < or =500 bp.
- This GenomeBrowser supports user authentication and user-specific tracks.
- The current version of the fRNAdb is a complete rewrite of the former version, hosting a larger number of sequences and with a much friendlier interface.
- The current version of UCSC GenomeBrowser for Functional RNA features a larger number of tracks and richer features than the former version.
